I don't own DC or DB or any characters affiliated with them.
Just for reference, I don't do much drama/romance in my story for a good reason. I'm not too good at it. Much like Akira Toriyama once said, the action is where it's at, the hero always needs a love interest but that's not the focus of the story I'm trying to tell.
Chapter 36: Trigon Cometh
40 Minutes Until T-Day
Diana enjoyed spending her last night with her beloved before the war she knew was coming; they drank wine, laughed, made love, and everything else they could imagine a normal couple would do on an average Friday night. But, then came morning, and the tension in the room was already present when they woke in the bed they shared.
"We've got just about an hour or so before things get… hectic," Diana announced staring up at the ceiling in her king-sized mattress, the sheets vaguely covered her nude body whilst they did the same for the man next to her draping over his lower-body.
Goku didn't respond, he simply sighed with a blank expression, "I don't know if I'll even live through this; even Vegito as our trump card might not be enough."
Diana sat up allowing her breasts to be exposed as the sheets fell gently to her waist-line, "I know you said you'd use the Dragonballs to undo the fusion but, perhaps using the fusion-dance like your son has but, with Clark would be the better option in the end?"
He placed his palms behind his head, comforting him as he looked to his side, "Potara is the stronger fusion; it amps the resulting fighters power way beyond the dance."
Diana fell back onto her pillow sighing loudly, "I see, everything should be set up then, Raven has been placed in the center of an abandon military compound just south of the Sahara Desert."
Goku narrowed his eyes, "The Elder Kai said that Trigon's magic would begin to rot the Universe the second he stepped foot in it," He closed his eyes for a moment, "I need a team to distract the army while I get Trigon the hell away from here," Goku jumped to his feet materializing his orange Whis Gi along with white tape wrapped firmly around his wrists and knuckles. He tightened his blue Martial Arts belt compactly whilst flashing Diana a smile, she stood as well only, for her, she needed time to set her armor properly.
As she did, Goku stepped out of the room leaning against the railing and looking out into his spherical pod, pondering all the times he trained in this very ship. Before it was enhanced by Bulma and her father, he trained for six days straight on his way to Namek. When he was preparing for the Tournament of Power he trained with Whis personally in this very ship, using its highest gravity level at the time but, it didn't help all that much. He used this pod to prepare for so many enemies that he overcame with will power alone but, the thought kept daunting on him, holding him down like the gravity chamber used to. Would he be able to save the day this time? Or would Trigon succeed in rotting away the entire Universe as he's been doing for thousands of years?
Diana, now fully armored, placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, "You'll win, you always win."
Goku chuckled for a moment looking down at his hands, "Not true, Vegito lost against Majin Buu just a year or two ago, if it wasn't for his insane plan to attack Zen-Chan, that would be it for the Multiverse," he sighed and slumped over, "I would've lost."
"But, this is different!" she announced, "This time we are prepared for his arrival, Buu caught us all by surprise but, we've had months to train for this!"
The Saiyan was silent, not looking up from the railing she leaned against, "Look, if even half of Vegito is unsure or doubting himself than yes, the entire Multiverse is doomed to annihilation," she stopped and placed a finger on his chin pulling his gaze to match hers, "But if you fight Trigon with every ounce of enthusiasm that I know you have in you, then you simply can't lose."
He smiled in response, "Sorry for being so negative, it's just I've got a lot on my mind."
"The weight of the Multiverse is on your shoulders, Goku, it is normal to be distraught in times like these," She smiled and pulled him in close, "And when you win and everyone is safe, you'll have a newborn baby to greet."
"I've been meaning to ask," Goku said before pulling Diana closer to him, so that he could lean her head over his shoulder, "Is it gonna be a boy or a girl?"
She giggled for a moment, as she opened her mouth to respond, a loud beeping interrupted her from the com which was freshly placed in her ear, "What is it?" she asked aggravatedly turning away from Goku.
After a few moments of listening, Diana turned to Goku with a serious glare, "We're on our way now!" she said nodding towards the Saiyan.
Goku took a serious expression and unfortunately abandoned his question, grabbing Diana's shoulder, placing two fingers to his forehead, he immediately found a group of Ki signatures across the globe almost exactly where Diana had described earlier.
In a flash of instant speed, they vanished.
…
Ténéré Desert; Egypt
20 minutes until T-Day
In a flash, Goku teleported into a small hut built obviously recently with Diana in tow behind him, they arrived to meet Goten, Trunks, Piccolo, Vegeta, Elder Kai, Superman, and Batman. Goku observed his environment placing his hands on his hips and gazing out the window, "This outta do, no one around for miles and miles, we should be able to contain this war here for long enough."
Goten smiled, "Long enough for Vegito to put the beat down on this TriGuy!"
"I just wish we didn't have to lock Kara and the others up," Trunks added, "They would have been a huge help."
"Uh, dude, do you not remember how Vegito totally smacked Buu around without any trouble the first time around? Even when we were absorbed into him!" Goten added.
"Enough talk," Bruce was fully prepped and ready in his HellBat suit which required only is helmet to be complete, the likes of which was held firmly in his hands, "It's time get things started," he lifted the helmet and placed it on his head allowing the latches to lock it in place.
Goku turned to Superman for a moment, "Two things, first I want you to remember that even with your crazy durability, its lethal to go beyond a hundred times KaioKen, got it?"
Clark smiled, "Hopefully I won't need to," he raised a brow for a moment, "And the second thing?"
He closed his eyes for a moment, "I want to see her," they all looked over to him for a moment, none of them wanting to respond, however; Bruce lifted his thumb and motioned towards the door behind them.
Goku slid the wooden door open which creaked loudly, his eyes adjusted to the dark as he was finally able to make out the teenage girl he'd heard so much about.
"Hey," he announced, not catching her off guard but, surprising her for the fact that anyone cared to see her before it happened.
"Oh, hey, you're the one who's supposed to beat my dad, right?" She asked turned away from the window she spent hours gazing out of, "It won't work, you aren't strong enough."
"That's not what I came to talk about," he said quickly trying not to sound abrasive, "I came to ask you how you feel about all of this."
"How I feel?" she deadpanned, "I was kidnapped by superheroes and locked in some mystical tower for months, now I'm locked in this stupid room waiting for my body to explode so my dad can eat your Universe."
The room was quiet for a moment, "Overall, I feel powerless, even with my magic."
Goku kept his smile the entire time, "Well, ya know what?"
Raven looked up for the first time, "W-What?"
"I'm going to kill your father, one way or another," she looked into his eyes and saw a fire of determination like she'd never felt, "And then I'm going to use mystical items to bring you and only you back into this world."
Raven stood up in her chair, "Bringing someone back from the dead is impossible though!"
"Not for where I come from," Goku stood up and walked towards the door, "I really am sorry that I couldn't stop what's about to happen to you but, I swear I'll fix it all."
"I'm an empath, I can feel emotions which is how I know you're telling the truth," her short smile faded as Goku opened the wooden door again, "But, I can also see you're scared."
This caused him to stop in his tracks, looking down at the ground, "You're afraid of losing and you're unsure you'll even stand a chance."
Goku's smile faded for a moment leaving a long grimace, "Yea… who wouldn't be scared at a time like this-"
"But, its new to you, isn't it? Being afraid to fight someone," Raven sat back down in her wooden chair, "I can feel that you aren't just afraid, you're terrified of everything my father can and will take from you."
"I like to live like I know I'm dying, Raven, I'll fight until I take my last breath and that's all there is to it," Goku pushed the door open and glanced back at her, "I'll bring you back, I swear it." The door closed behind him and Vegeta was juxtaposed to the Elder Kai waiting distraughtly.
Elder Kai sighed, "I believe it is time," he unhooked his earrings that hung graciously from his earlobes and handed one to Vegeta next to him and tossed the other to Goku whom cupped his hands as the earring bounced in his palms.
"Ready, Vegeta?" Goku asked attaching the jewel to his right ear.
"Pff as ready as I'm going to get," he moved to attach his earring when suddenly the entire area began shaking vigorously.
Diana leaned against the poorly built hut, "What's going on?"
Elder Kai stepped back in horror, "I-Its Its starting!"
The room Raven was sitting in exploded with a flash of crimson red, the entire hut was blown away by the wind pressure alone as they could clearly see the teenage girl lifting into the air. Clouds of sand surrounded her, lifting into the air around her. Her cloak was gone and her limbs were completely exposed with glowing red symbols written in a language long since extinct across her skin. She screamed in agony and absolute horror as her eyes turned crimson sprouting four distinct eyes the pain finally overtaking her entire being, "The greatness of Trigon will finally rise once again!"
With that final sentence, she exploded with a light so bright none of the spectators could keep their eyes on it for more than a few seconds before averting their gaze. Goku and Vegeta nodded to one another, Vegeta attached his earring and both artifacts began to illuminate simultaneously.
"I love you, Diana," Goku muttered just before his body was irresistibly attracted to Vegeta's levitating and flying towards one another and as they combined? Well, they created a super-power force so strong it rivaled Trigon's arrival almost equally.
The light generated from Trigon's portal was a deep crimson negative electricity whilst the illumination from Vegito's creation was a shallow white positive energy; the resulting explosion of pure light shrouded the entire desert in blinding power.
Superman ripped his cape off and cracked his knuckles, "Game time, win or lose, black or white, good or evil," he smiled for a moment as his clear Ki aura exploded around him, "I've never played this game with the odds so stacked against us."
Diana charged her own, dimmer, thinner Ki aura strengthening her blade and shield as well, "This is no longer a game of good versus evil, this is about survival."
Once the light and smoke dispersed, a massive portal was visible to all, nearly twenty-feet in radius; on the opposing side, a man stood with hair designed as a Super Saiyan but, raven black like an ordinary person, a blue Gi was wrapped firmly around an orange under-armor with white fighting-tape wrapped around his wrists and knuckles rather than the gloves he sported the last time.
Trunks and Goten immediately charged their energies, transforming into Level 2 Super Saiyans whilst Piccolo removed his weighted gear, charging his own energy and stepping into a fighting stance.
The portal floated for a moment without any sign of life but, the heroes stood at the ready regardless. Bruce narrowed his eyes behind his faceplate, "Wait for it…"
Suddenly thousands of demons, each looking of different shape and size, flew from the portal sniffing out any life in the area. Some vultures flying nearby were immediately vaporized as the demons flew forth.
"Attack!" Diana shouted as she and numerous other heroes flew into the air, cleaving and blasting away at the invading demons.
Vegito stood still, not moving a muscle, staring directly into the center of the portal, his thoughts were broken by a hand on his shoulder, "You want to help with the first wave or?" Superman was being precautious as usual knowing full well that even Base Vegito could wipe out every demon on the field with a single thought.
"Why go for the fishes?" Clark was taken slightly aback by hearing both voices intertwined in such a unique way, "When I could have the whole damn ocean."
Goten and Trunks fought as a team, Trunks dicing through demons with his enhanced blade and Goten using rapid fire Ki blasts to eliminate enemies from long distance; several demons tried to gang up on the duo, however; they simply shouted and charged their sparking Ki aura's which turned the entire horde to smoke.
Piccolo easily dipped and weaved in-between attacks as demons tried desperately to injure him, he ducked underneath a sword slash and kicked the attacker through his crotch and up his body splitting his smoky body in two before dispersing. The Namekian began firing randomly in all directions small Ki Grenades that surrounded his attacking demons and once there were over two dozen orbs floating around them, he pulled his hands together as all the orbs came imploding inwards striking unsuspecting demons and turning the majority of his surrounding enemies to smoke.
Bruce had upgraded his Hellbat suit in any way conceivable, the armors inner layer was weaved with dwarf-star material, stronger and lighter than steel, whilst the outer layer was composed of an Apocalyptic metal strong enough to take direct punches from Superman and Darkseid themselves. With the upgrades, however; Bruce acquired an ample amount of Katchin whilst gathering Trunks, Goten, and Piccolo, using this he strengthened his armor ten-fold and increased destructive capacity. He fired rapid fired missiles in multiple directions destroying dozens of demons at a time; a crimson blade from his gauntlet extending half a foot.
Diana slammed her shield into a demon's skull dispersing him as she spun around to roundhouse another attempting to attack from behind; she sliced and diced through enemies with ease as she narrowed her gaze towards the portal, "I can feel him; he's coming now," she spun and defended against a strike from an ogre-like demon.
The sparking portal vibrated dispersing the sandy ground beneath it to the bedrock, the glow within was brighter than it had ever been, a shadow began to form as if some humanoid body was coming through from the other side.
Vegito glared at the portal, cracking a smile as he watched the figure get closer and closer to the portal, inch by inch the titillating suspense, nearly distracted the fighters from annihilating the demons. As the figure stepped through the portal, a sudden pressure enveloped all of them, not significantly enough to matter but, they all felt the immense power suddenly surging through the air. Raw and unfiltered power the likes of which no normal human could comprehend; his hove touched the ground and to everyone's surprise, there was no loud boom to intimidate. The figure simply stepped through as an eight-foot tall man with crimson red skin and four glowing eyes, antlers that extended nearly a foot above his head, and two muscular arms with razor-sharp claws. His gleaming silver armor only covered him from the waist down to his ankles, the rest was exposed crimson flesh with nothing but black tattoos across his chest and back.
He snorted with pressured steam bursting from his nostrils, "You all should bow before a God."
"We prefer standing," Clark deadpanned completely serious whilst crossing his arms. They looked around for a moment and noticed that everyone had stopped fighting, the demons floated passively as Trigon entered the dimension. As he did so, a negative energy of sorts waved through the desert rotting even the sand to ashes and turning the sky around him a blood red shade.
"I've experienced infinite realities such as this one, although; a Chi user in this Universe is quite a rarity," Trigon stepped forwards through the sand, "You've been preparing for me, you've been waiting for me, you are so sure you can kill me," He continued walking until he was face to face with Vegito as Clark slipped into a fighting stance, "Well, here I am."
Vegito smiled, "Here? No, you're not here. Well you won't be anyways."
Trigon raised a brow and turned on a heal where Elder Kai nearly defecated in his pants, he used his Supreme Kai magic to instantly teleport both Vegito and Trigon away.
Clark looked around as the demons began their assault once more; releasing a breath he motioned to the Elder, "Now all we have to do is have faith in Vegito."
Elder Kai closed his eyes and whipped a drop of sweat from his temple, "Don't be so sure, this could end very badly…"
…
Trigon barely blinked before noticing his surroundings had changed completely, "Damn Kai and their insipid magic," he gazed around at his surroundings, complete void, nothing but white nothingness in every direction aside from down which is the ground he stood on, "You do understand I can teleport from here whenever I please, don't you?"
"Of course," Vegito smirked, "So can I, but neither of us is going anywhere."
Trigon snorted once again blowing steam from his nose, "Are you challenging me to a one versus one, you didn't bring any help?"
"Just you and me."
"Your counterpart, the one with the white fur, he had tons of his friends fight me, his son, his granddaughter, but I slaughtered them all in seconds."
Vegito snapped, his aura exploded into a golden rage unleashing his full Level 2 power with sparking electric aura to boot; as he moved at super speeds his body gained a golden sparking similar to Barry's speed force lightning trailing behind him, channeling his Super Saiyan Ki through his limbs to move faster. Dashing forwards Vegito leaped and struck Trigon square in the jaw, the demon didn't flinch, however the ground beneath them cracked and shattered forming a small crater.
"If you are going to waste my time, I will just kill you now and return to my conquest," Trigon didn't even move to attack even while Vegito was wide-open for a counter, the Saiyan dipped backwards summersaulting to a distance.
"Fine then, guess I'll give it my all off the bat," Vegito clenched his fist, tightened his jaw, and allowed his Godly Ki to flow freely through his body. A turquoise glow engulfed him and surrounded him, as he shouted intensely the glow dispersed leaving Vegito with neon blue hair and aura, "Say hello to Vegito Blue!"
"Amusing nicknames," he gazed down at his palms clenching them and watching his crimson electricity cackle down his arm, "It won't save you."
"Full power!" Vegito shouted expanding his aura and sending strong wind currents in every direction but, only barely even catching his enemies attention. The Saiyan-Fusion sprinted forwards at super speeds, this time with blue lightning trailing him, sending punches and kicks at Trigon whom took them all without moving a single muscle. He didn't dodge, flinch, yawn, or even seem discomforted; until suddenly faster than even Vegito could track, he was backhanded sending him onto his back skidding to a halt.
"Jeez," Vegito held his face in minor pain, "his speed is insane!"
"You will never even hurt me at that level, let alone kill me."
"KaioKen!" Vegito tightened all of the muscles in his body as his Ki levels skyrocketed to new heights, "Times 50!" He exploded forth with a new crimson aura enveloping his Godly turquoise one, Trigon finally felt kinetic energy building in the form of his own red lightning trailing behind him as he moved forwards so fast Vegito almost lost sight of him. He appeared suddenly colliding with the Saiyan's unprepared fist, the resulting force nearly shattered his arm and sent him flying through the Time Chamber entrance destroying the building entirely.
Trigon floated down in front of the wreckage of the Chamber, "You don't stand a chance against me, I am have already predicted that you would be betrayed by your own friends and I was right!"
The entire building completely disintegrated as Vegito shouted and charged his aura which engulfed everything around him, "Times 75!" The red got darker and the movement got faster but, nothing was good enough. He sent a combination followed by a roundhouse kick to the neck which did nothing to even strain Trigon. He countered by catching one of Vegito's punches and squeezing his fist until he heard cracking sounds which made him flash a sinister smile.
"T-Times 100!" His strength, durability, and speed increased just enough for him break Trigon's grip and retreat backwards holding his hand in other palm feeling it out and taking deep breaths to maintain the KaioKen.
"I feel neglected; show me your full power now you Saiyan rat!" Trigon punched his palm in anger as hellfire ignited in his hands.
"Fine!" Vegito floated backwards and charged his Blue aura to his maximum before stacking KaioKen on top, "KaioKen Times 200!" His aura exploded turning everything for thousands of miles a shade of red as sparking raw energy burst forth from his aura and carved trenches in the ground around them. As he shouted with all of his might, the ground beneath them began to shake as the entire Time Chamber could physically feel the vibrations; Vegito allowed his anger to rise, letting it simmer with hate, the people he's killed, the Universes he's decimated! In seconds, a deep violet-purple aura engulfed the crimson aura surrounding his God aura, the three colors were intense as the Saiyan's strength, speed, durability all increased at exponential levels. With the Berserker Boost from Vegeta, the Vegito's muscles grew as well, becoming thicker and more prominent, "The only God in this Universe is me and you WILL worship!" the Saiyan's voice echoed as all of reality could feel his power grinding against the fabric of space and time.
Vegito vanished but, before Trigon could look for him, he returned with a sparking fist aimed straight for Trigon's head. For the first time, Vegito's attack sent Trigon flying through the air; he dug his demonic claws into the ground, creating five small lines in the concrete as he stopped his momentum. From behind he barely noticed Vegito's foot roundhouse him in the nose without warning, sending him bouncing on the ground miles away, each connection creating a crater in the ground. Vegito followed suit, charging his aura and flying close to the ground, catching up and throwing a lose haymaker to Trigon's face as he was pushed further into the ground.
Trigon stood in a pile of rubble, tossing boulders off of him and looking towards his approaching opponent, speed was irrelevant to him, he could see Vegito's sparking movements regardless. The Saiyan came in with a right hook which Trigon weaved his way out of, followed by a spinning roundhouse kick blocked by the demons forearm, almost effortlessly. The shockwave from such collisions shook the entire dimension itself.
…
Diana and Clark were back to back, Diana cleaving and slicing while Clark shot beams of heat from his eyes followed by the occasional Ki orb; the demons were being pushed back but, suddenly even more came pouring out of the portal.
"We need to shut that portal down somehow!" Diana shouted as she launched her mystical blade into the skull of a random demon, "This'll never end otherwise!"
Clark threw a punch the evaporated a demon and sent a shockwave annihilating half of an entire horde; the following unknown shockwave shook the entire Earth briefly as everyone noticed and nearly stopped their battles to regard the shaking.
"Was that you?" Diana shouted dodging an attack.
"I wish," Clark mumbled as he felt Vegito and Trigon's energy duking it out in the Time Chamber; Elder Kai approached the battle field from the ground, not participating in the fight itself but still observing.
"That doesn't feel good at all, no sir," He used his Omniscient vision to observe the fight first hand, "Not. At. All."
…
Trigon and Vegito moved across the dimensions at super-speeds, red lightning trailing ahead of blue lightning, the blue trail never quite catching up other than the occasional collision. They finally stood still meeting at a single point, their fists connected shattering a hole through space/time where the demons and the battlefield could be seen once again.
They vanished, fighting at unimaginable speeds and connecting at octillions of times faster than the speed of light; Trigon never lost his grin as he effortlessly combated his weaker opponent. The demon dodged a hook-jab combination and sent an ab crushing knee to the stomach sending blood from Vegito's lungs to splatter across the eggshell white scenery.
"If you forced me to use even an arbitrary percentage of my power, I would be surprised," Trigon grabbed Vegito by his head and held his hand out shattering a hole through the dimensional barrier leading to the battlefield; he tossed Vegito upwards before punching him with so much force the Saiyan flew through the hole and into the horde of demons.
The flying beasts made a path for the fight as Trigon followed Vegito through the portal; they all saw it, almost in slow motion, Vegito with blood spitting from his mouth flying through the air above them. It wasn't long before Trigon flew in and shattered yet another hole in space/time before grabbing and tossing Vegito through it and back into the Time Chamber.
"Did we just see…?" Diana started almost ignoring the demons around her, "Vegito losing?"
…
Vegito's eyes snapped open as he used instant transmission to teleport to a higher altitude with an energy orb charging between his palms, "Final Kamehameha!" An orb of blue formed layered with a crimson aura added to a small spark of violet lightning cackling around the attack; he thrusted his palms forwards firing the beam as it approached the devil himself and exploded with enough force to annihilate dozens of Universes on contact.
The raw power exploded around Trigon decimating the surrounding landscape, turning ground into ash as Vegito exhaled deeply, taking deep breaths to recover from the 200X boost. His rage subsided almost completely, the berserker mode dispersed as did his KaioKen; his Godly Blue form barely withstood the strain but, maintained nicely.
Vegito floated to the ground in exhaustion, the smoke from his blast ominously hid the results of his attack. Vegito couldn't sense Trigon considering the demon didn't use Ki but, he could most definitely feel the intense negative energy flowing outwards from the area. The smoke dispersed instantly leaving Trigon standing in the same place he had been moments ago. Ash had landed on him, coating his shoulders in it as he casually overlooked his body and dusted the ash from his body, "You really haven't a clue with whom your dealing, do you?"
Vegito was dumbfounded as he reverted to his Base Form, "N-No way!"
Trigon took a few steps forwards and smiled, "I'll let you in on an inside joke of mine," his malevolent grin spread across his face widely, "I have yet to use more than 1 percent of my full power."
Vegito was surprised to say the least but, he wasn't afraid, he looked down at the ground and smiled brightly, "Anything humorous that you'd like to share?"
"Yea actually," Vegito looked up just as he was rubbing his wounds and strained limbs, "The prophecy you made, about only a White God being able to defeat you?"
Trigon raised a brow and took a single confused step back.
"That power you feared so much?" He looked Trigon dead in all four of his eyes, "That power is inside me!"
Trigon's face contorted into one of anger and confusion before becoming genuinely afraid for Vegito's energy began to shift and warp, "You won round one, Trigon, I'll give you that but let's see who takes round two, shall we?"
White lightning surged throughout the Chamber and suddenly, all was not completely lost.
…
This chapter is a bit short but, no worries! I can assure you this will be a long battle that you will never forget! (Until you're 30 and you don't remember what FanFiction even is) XD
